    These mediocre figures just can't find a home.

    I nominate:

    TLK Grimlock

    TR Broadside

    TLK Grimlock is the worst, without a doubt. I've seen over a dozen of them at a single store

    TR Highbrow- the only TR figure I see pretty much everywhere.

    TLK Grimlock- boring repaint of a mediocre figure.

    TLK Legion Optimus- didn't like it the first time.

    NuRiD Windblade- I don't collect the line, but this thing is all over the place. Ick.

    TLK Grimlock, with Slash close behind.

    Honorable mention goes to TR Wave 1 Scourge and, to a lesser extent, Blurr.

    There's a Walmart near me that still has alot of the Wave 1 revision. I kid you not, there's *at least* 10 TR Chromedomes on the pegs. Along w/ a couple Highbrows and Blurrs.

    I'm surprised that some posts are naming TR Scourge and Broadside. I don't see alot of those shelfwarming at all.

    Pretty much all of the TLK and RID stuff is shelfwarming hard.

    When the retailer changes it back to standard retail prices after having it be $10 or less for one month in 2016.

    TLK Voyager Grimlock is shelfwarming like mad over here, too.

    Got some Highbrow, Scourge and Blurr shelfwarming too. Highbrow may just end up a custom at this rate — anything to get these guys off the shelves. :lol

    All of wave 1 TLK is everywhere here, specifically Grimlock and all the deluxes. TR Scourge and most of Wave 2 can still be found, as well as poor CW Leader Skywarp.

    TLK Wave 1. Why pick one when it's all alike all-over.

    Yep, that would be it. I don't think my local Wal-Mart has sold more than half a dozen toys since they got their shipment in. This is what happens when your big budget Transformers movie sucks and is severely lacking the titular robots.

    TR Wave 1 and TLK wave 1 deluxes are all I've seen at my local Wal Mart, aside from a single TR Galvatron and a case of Broadsides that sold weirdly fast.

    Honorable mention: TR Scourge, TR Blurr, TR Highbrow (people must not like blue), and TR Doublecross

    The easy choice is TLK Grimlock

    Can't really say TR Chromedome, Scourge, Blurr etc. have really been SHELFWARMING...that would imply the same figure has been there for months and months.

    Rather, they HAVE been selling...and Hasbro keeps sending Walmarts pallet drops packed with wave 1.5. And if you go to Target, they're stocked up on wave 4 now with very few of the previous waves in stock. So...the unfortunate wave 1.5'ers are kind of getting a bad rap, IMO.
